known that Josemi F4 Brown, a eitizen of theV United States, residingtlohita, in the county of Sedgwick and Stete of Kansas, have inventedcerte-in new and i1 efnlimprovements in Air or l/Veter Pressure Tanks;and i do hereby declare the -ollowing to be ai tell, clean and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it epperteins to maire and use the saine.

riiis invention relates to new and useful withstanding high pressure aswell as being air end water-tight.

@with these and otnei obgects in view as will become morev apparent asthe description proceeds, the invention consists in ce1'- tain novelfeatures of construction, combination, and arrangement of parte, will behereinafter more iully described and claimed.

ln forming my invention, the walls oi the hole l are adapted to orrn theouter mold.

An inner shield el is constructed oi metal or any other materiel'suitable for the pur-l pose and is of comparatively thin nature so asto'reduce the expense of manufacturing' thev device. The lining 4:consists of acylin drical body 5 having conical shaped upper and lowerends vG and 7. The apices oi lthe upper and lower ends of the lining lare provided with openings to .permit e rod 8"` to extend therethrough.The rod 8V extends through the liningr or inner receptacle 4; at a pointcentrally thereof and carries et each end top and bottoni plates 9 andl0. The piates 9 and l0 are preferably oi circuler formation having aplurality of crcularly arranged openings il formed therein. The openingsare adapted to receive the screw threaded ends of reinforcing rods ll'which are bent to conform to the contour oi' the lining l and arrangedin spaced relationto the outer face thereof. The rods ll receive I upontheir ends nuts l2 ior retaining them in their proper position and alsofor' securing them to the plates. These rods are 'further braced andJheldin relatively spaced relai tion by niearisot bands or: hoops i3thzit :Surround the body portion 5 of tlieillnig fl in speced relationthereto and are oonneeted to the rods in any well known manner.. After'the reinforcing rods il have been assembled, or secured to theirrespective plates 9V and' l0 and also to the hoops or hands 13 about thelininfiv l? said rods and vlining; ate then positioned within. the holel permitting the bottoni ple-te l0 to rest upon the cement 3. The rodswhich are disposed outermost of the lininfr are arranged end heldmanually or in any other well known manner iny spaced relation to thewell of the hole L The space between the lining and the Well oi the holeis then iilled with cement up to the upper end oit' the Cylindrical bodyportion 5 ofthe ining Il.

The upper conical shaped end of' the lining lis provided with oppositelydisposed openings to receive an inlet pipe i4; and an outlet pipe l5.The inlet pipe le terminates at a point at the upper end. of theeylindricai portion 5 while the outlet pipe 15 extends downwardly withinthe lining end is received within a supportingstrainer i6. Thesupporting strainer 16 is secured er formed onto the rod 8 et a' pointadjacent its lower end. The upper' ends o the pipes iii' 'spaoodfelation theeto and has its lowo odge disposed in a plano with cheu'ooor @mi of h@ c *yindioa'po'ton 5 of tho linmg and also in engagementwith ao Wa'i *che holo The hood 17 s substzmtay oonffa shape having itsapex atboned and. p'ovde wh a poung opening 18 in which h@ cement isadapted who be poured unt the interior of ho hood is entely led.
